Imagine you are given a book from a friend.  How would you read it?  Would you start in chapter 4?   Or flip to random pages and look for the perfect one-liner?  Never!  This type of reading is a surefire way to be confused, misunderstand the intended purpose, and quickly lose interest. Why then do we read the Bible this way? The Bible is composed of 66 different books.  Historical books, poetic books, prophetic books, letters.  Read the Bible book by book.  Start in Chapter 1.  Seek to understand the purpose of the book, the intent of the author, and the context.  While it isn’t necessary to read the Bible in order, I think you need to be sensitive the historical timeline of the Bible.  If you’ve never read from Genesis through Nehemiah in order, it’s so worth it.
